Return the Favor Program

Return the Favor: Montgomery County Veteran Discount Program

I would like to announce this great program that recognizes in some small way what our veterans have done for us. I would like to ask you to join me and Ms. Bartone in supporting this initiative.

 

Thank you,

 

Bill Peeler

Mayor

 

 

Montgomery County is reaching out to County businesses and merchants to encourage participation in this very important initiative that is taking place throughout Montgomery County and many other Counties to thank the Veterans for their service and sacrifices to our Country. 

 

The "RETURN THE FAVOR: VETERAN DISCOUNT PROGRAM (Find & Assist Veterans of Record) is a way that Montgomery County can recognize and thank the service and sacrifices made by our returning Veterans. 

Under the "RETURN THE FAVOR: VETERAN DISCOUNT PROGRAM eligible County individuals may apply and will be issued a photo ID card (by the County Clerks Office) upon filing of their DD214 identifying them as a qualified honorably discharged Veteran.  There is no cost to participate for either the Business or the Veteran.

Participating County businesses and merchants would agree to honor the ID card presented by the Veteran with a discount (of their choice) on purchases, services, or some other offer.  A list of participating businesses and merchants with the discount offered would be provided to the Veteran.

Please see the attached enrollment form for the "RETURN THE FAVOR: VETERAN DISCOUNT PROGRAM" to be sent to the Montgomery County Clerks Office, County Office Bldg., P.O. Box 1500, 64 Broadway, Fonda, NY 12068.  Upon enrollment a poster will be offered to the participating business.  For more information you may reach me at (518) 853-8111 or hbartone@co.montgomery.ny.us

I encourage you to join us in this very special program to thank the Veterans for their service and sacrifices to our Country, while keeping sales and business local with an economic boost to Montgomery County.

Sincerely,
Helen A. Bartone
Montgomery County Clerk
